Udates/questions
Hello all!
I have made it to the 4.5 month mark of sobriety. It has not been an easy road. Lots of anxiety, PAWS symptoms. At about the 3.5 month mark I was doing Jiu Jitsu and hurt my back. About that time I finally started to feel like I had a handle on my anxiety and fears, etc. a few days after I injured my back I had trouble lifting my left ankle up, and I had excruciating leg pain. I had to have a microdisectamy. I am now 3 weeks out of surgery and I feel like it causes pain and weird numbness symptoms. I have spoken to my doctor and I was assured all is well and most likely it's from them manhandling my S1 nerve during surgery.
I feel like it has started my paranoia all over again, and I'm feeling doomsday like about my body. Can anyone else relate? Thanks for listening to my rant.

Congrats on 4.5 months, sorry to hear of your injury. I can definitely relate to the health anxiety thing...mine comes and goes too, seems like is somewhat cyclical. I don't have a solution yet to share, but I get where you are coming from.

Thanks you guys. Just people relating helps me more than I could describe.
On a side note, I was also told I should give up doing Jiu Jitsu professionally, as well as teaching. It's like I'm loosing myself and my body is falling apart. Either that or I drank enough I didn't notice my body falling apart during all the years of punching/kicking/wrestling.
